SMART or Not? Writing Specific, Measurable IEP Goals
Hedin, Laura; DeSpain, Stephanie
TEACHING Exceptional Children, v51 n2 p100-110 Nov-Dec 2018
Although different authors define the SMART acronym differently, an IEP-related interpretation of the acronym is as follows: specific, measurable, action verbs, realistic, and time limited. In addition to these features, well-written IEP goals reflect students' unique strengths and needs. This article discusses how educators can produce specific, measurable, realistic IEP goals with action verbs, using the SMART acronym as a guide.
